Summary

It's difficult to "summarize" the booming expansion that has occurred with the Kaufmann crew since "The Linguist" appeared on Free Language over a year ago. That is why Free Language has numerous articles on the various websites and resources available through multilinguist Steve Kaufmann's web entelechy, including the many LinqQ [liŋk] podcasts, the LingQ method, revisiting The Linguist on Language and why not throw in a little thelinguist.com love, too. :)

This particular podcast is SpanishLingQ, a roughly weekly podcast with mp3 audio content for Spanish language learners. Transcripts of the podcasts are available through LingQ.

What is SpanishLingQ?

First of all, the name itself (which is pronounced Spanish Link) needs a little explaining. The first part, “Spanish”, is fairly obvious since we teach Spanish. LingQ is the name of our online learning system which you can find at LingQ.com. At LingQ you’ll study many different languages in a fun, community atmosphere. The “Ling” in LingQ comes from TheLinguist.com the people behind LingQ. Lastly, the “Q” is important because it forms the speech bubble in our logo and throughout our site and because it makes “lingq” sound like “link” (we think!) which is what our system does for you.

At SpanishLingQ...

. we LingQ you to a world of real Spanish content
. we LingQ you to our revolutionary learning tools
. we LingQ you to a community of fellow Spanish learners

Our podcasts may contain interviews, articles, or audiobook excerpts but are most often just general conversations in Spanish. We will usually talk about topics of general interest. Please do send us feedback and topic requests. We’re always happy to hear from you.

After you listen to the podcast, sign up for a free account at LingQ (l-i-n-g-q.com) and study the full transcript using LingQ's revolutionary learning tools.

At LingQ, you may also want to submit writing for correction or join live 1 on 1 and group discussions with our tutors. Plus you will find thousands more podcasts with transcript. Come and find out what LingQ is all about!

Of course, even if you don’t decide to become a member, you can continue listening to the podcasts as long as you like.

My name is Eleena (Elena in Spanish) and I’m so glad you’re here right now, reading my blog. Thanks!

So, what would you like to know? Well, I’m an American and I’m a Spanish fanatic. Say it loud, say it proud! I found religion, the Spanish religion that is, a few years ago during a trip to South America when I fell completely head over heels for the language. It wasn’t my first trip overseas but it was a life-changing one that made me realize how much I wanted to spend my life studying and learning Spanish.

Voices en Español is a blog and a podcast. That’s the short version. The long version is Voices en Español is a place to evangelize the Spanish language. It will be a place with tips on learning the language as well as musings on different topics and interviews with fascinating people from all walks of life in the U.S., Latin America, and, of course, Spain.

Things to remember:

• I’m not a native Spanish speaker, so be gentle with me. I’m a work in progress!
• If there is a particular topic related to the Spanish language that you would like to see addressed, drop me a line. Ditto for people you’d like to hear interviewed.
• Communication is good. Two-way communication is even better! Leave comments on this blog, link to and/or forward my posts, email me, whatever. Just don’t be a stranger!

¡Hasta luego!

Summary

From the same folks that do the very popular ChinesePod Podcast, Spanish Sense is a very high-quality podcast for learners of the Spanish language.

What is SpanishSense?

SpanishSense is a language training service unlike anything you have ever seen before. It works by taking the best of the traditional classroom, and recreating it around the needs and lifestyle of the student, with all the improvements that technology allows.

Therefore, just like a traditional classroom, SpanishSense provides a community of practice: great teachers, lively discussion with fellow students, and a shared learning experience.

However, on top of this, SpanishSense uses technology to support learning in ways that a traditional school is unable to do. For example:

* Schedule the lessons you want with the Calendar, and have them delivered daily through your personal RSS feed.
* Study on the go, on your iPod or mobile phone.
* Tag your vocabulary lists, and discover related words tagged by others.
* Stay in touch with the latest lesson discussion with watch-lists.
* Have 'on-demand' access to hundreds of lessons by expert teachers.
* And more…

SpanishSense is for anyone who has always wanted to learn Spanish, but just couldn’t find the time or motivation in the past. It’s so convenient that even the busiest professional can easily find 30 minutes a day for study, and the fun lessons and passionate community will keep you motivated.
